(DCNF)—Former independent presidential candidate Cornel West walked off “Piers Morgan Uncensored” on Monday during a testy clash over assassinated Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk.
Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday while speaking to a large audience at Utah Valley University (UVU), during which he participated in civil debate with students. West walked off the show while sparring with “The Crucible” host Andrew Wilson, who called him a “lunatic” and noted he called President Donald Trump’s administration “neofascist.”
“You very, very different than brother Charlie, man,” West said to Wilson. “You’re very different than Charlie, though, man.”
“It’s rhetoric from people like you that got that man killed, sir,” Wilson appeared to say, though it was difficult to discern the exact wording due to West talking over him.
West denied that his rhetoric played a role in Kirk’s assassination, but Wilson doubled down. West appealed to host Piers Morgan to stop Wilson from interrupting.
“Piers, why you have a brother on who’s not going to allow nobody to speak, man? We just wasting time. If all you’re interested in is making your money and you bring this brother on and nobody can say a word and we can’t even mourn brother Charlie passing,” West said. “I had dialogues with brother Charlie … Charlie was made in the image of a loving and mighty God … I say my prayers for sister Erica [Kirk] and the kids because this brother wants to trash my Christian sensibility. And look at him laughing now. It’s a joke, man. Piers, it’s not worth it.”
West stood up out of his seat, but continued talking.
“Is Charlie Kirk part of the neofascist movement?” Wilson asked him.
West did not directly answer, but criticized Kirk’s racial views.
“When Charlie himself says that he is against civil rights act, does that make him a proponent of Jim Crow?” West asked.
The former presidential candidate accused Wilson of being “arrogant” and “part of the problem.” Morgan urged him to sit and continue debating, but he refused.
“This is ridiculous. He’s smoking his cigarettes with his arrogant self,” West said. “Come on, man. We don’t have enough dialogue at all.”
“Surely you’re not going to walk out in a debate about dialogue,” Morgan said as West walked off.
Authorities arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson on Friday, accusing him of murdering Kirk. Republican Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said at a Friday press conference that authorities found anti-fascist messages on the ammunition from the rifle they recovered near the assassination, such as “Hey fascist! Catch!”
Former Democratic strategist Dan Turrentine on Monday’s “The Morning Meeting” called on his party to admit it made an error by labeling Trump a “fascist” following the assassination.
“[T]he party should not call Trump Hitler, should not say he’s a fascist. One, it’s bad politics. Two, it’s just not true. Right? It is simply not the case,” Turrentine said. “And I think that whenever a bad thing happens, parties need to call out in real time, ‘This is not acceptable.’”

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
